Sugar Creek Stamping: Technique Tuesday 25 August 2020

Welcome to this week's Technique Tuesday. I'm so thankful that you have found my blog and are stopping by to see today's card. I'm featuring the Celebration Tidings Bundle. You will be seeing more from this set. The dies are very versatile, and the coordinating printed paper Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper is the focal topic for today's tip about choosing colors for a card.

So, how to you choice color combinations? The answer for me is found on the packaging of printed paper or Designer Series Paper (DSP). Stampin' Up! makes it so easy, they tell you right on the packaging the colors that coordinate with each package of DSP.

For the card today all the coordinating colors are pulled from the piece of DSP. The card base is Rich Razzleberry and the Pumpkin Pie border dies cut pieces are cut from the Ornate Borders dies. For the stamped image, I used one of the die cut from the Celebration Tidings Bundle and stamped the Pumpkin boarder image using Memento Black ink. Grab some Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive Blends to color in the images.

The sentiment is from Country Home stamp set. I masked all but the word Thankful with drafting tape, then inked with Blackberry Bliss. The important part of masking is to remember to remove the tape before you stamp the image to the paper, ask me how I know!!! Next I colored a piece of Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon using the dark Pumpkin Pie blend, tied the colored ribbon into a bow and add some rhinestones from the Holiday Rhinestone Jewels.

A full list of products used is at the bottom of this post. Hope I have inspired you to create a card like this.
